Sarah Jane Szikora is about to release some brand new art work, her first in 2 years and we are eagerly awaiting these pieces, as are her many many fans.
Above is a snap shot of a small part of one her new images, that feature 3 Gingerbread men!
I believe there will be 8 different images.
We will keep you posted as news comes in!
Thank you

We are delighted to announce that there is a new Beryl Cook limited edition print being released, with more to follow later in the year.
The first of which will be called ‘Drinkies’ and is the all too familiar (lol) scene of a ‘fat lady’ in her underwear, at home, and at the drinks cabinet!..the item is to be released on the 30th January 2009.
(‘Drinkies’ by Beryl Cook)
This delightful and cheeky image follows in the footsteps of all her previous work and will make an excellent addition to any Beryl Cook collection. I can’t see how this wouldn’t bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Of note, these are numbered limited editions of 650 and of course, will NOT be signed by Beryl Cook, as this is the first posthumous publication.
(‘Tenerife Days’ by Beryl Cook
This is an older release but one of my favourites)
According to the publishers of her work:
“Her express wish and that of her family was that her pictures should continue to be made available for reproduction after her passingâ€
Your comments on the piece are of course more than welcome. Her new image will im sure capture the public imagination yet again!
Thank you
James

The rush for Beryl Cook’s work continues as the public continues to pay tribute to one of the UK’s most beloved artists by buying some of her signed limited edition pieces.
(The Birthday Cake by Beryl Cook)
The cheekiness of her work is something that brought a smile to so many of us, she seemed to capture something very quaint about British people’s lives and social behaviour.
(Dirty Dancing by Beryl Cook)
Although not as brash as saucy seaside humour, the type of which you see on postcards at British seaside destinations, there was still something very ‘tongue in cheek’ about her work. The scenes she painted, whether it be: a bar, a café or a music room and the characters within them, we can all identify some of those characters in own lives, or maybe we see ourselves!
(Shoe Shop by Beryl Cook)
The 4 lithographic images still available at published price are within this post, and make a good investment as all retail at under £300 (recommended retail price £282.00) and will be signed by the artist. Ill comment on her signed, Silkscreen, limited edition work and its investment value soon.
Some of her recent Lithographic sell outs, such as ‘Full House,’ ‘In the Snug’ & ‘Strip Poker’ are already Retailing at £400 – £500 in some shops, quite a good profit if you bought recently!

Caroline Shotton is set to release 2 new charity box canvases on July 14th 2008 and £25 from the sale of each item will go to a baby charity called ‘Bliss.’ The charity helps to care for premature babies
In 2007 Caroline had her second baby, Elliot, who was born prematurely and she heard about Bliss and through them she gained invaluable information about caring for her baby
‘Special Delivery’ by Caroline Shotton:
Both images will retail at £330 each and are sized 22’’ x 22’’ inches, a little smaller than her normal box canvases but are at a much keener price! These are special time limited edition pieces and will only be available from 14 July – 30 September 2008, so hurry!
‘Handle With Care’ by Caroline Shotton:
I really like these images as it brings something different again into her ‘Cow’ genre which undoubtedly she has cornered the market on.
I never thought it was possible but these cows maybe the cutest images she has ever released.
